    What an emise neshoma. He always had a smile on his face. Years after he did teshuva he continued to daven very slowly, enunciating every word. May his neshoma have an aliyah. Boruch Dayan HaEmes.

    He was heavily involved in Rutgers Chabad House. When I was there years ago, I saw him at every minyan I went to. I think he built their impressive sukkah, and did many other things for the Chabad House and the Jewish community. I’m saddened to hear of his passing. He will be greatly missed.

    To #1: He became baal Teshuvah after meeting Rabbi Carlbach 33 years ago and has been doing volunteer work since
    To #2: My father was an extremely special and modest man who devoted his life to helping others, at the funeral they estimated that through his flower program for the past 30 years that he arranged for girls to go and visit Jewish people in the local hospitals Friday afternoon with a flower and a card, over 100,000+ (I don’t remember the exact number)Jewish patients were visited. I’m sorry that you find the need to show such insensitivity.
    To #4: Not only did he build that sukkah, but sukkos was my father’s favorite holiday. In the early years he designed what was named the double chai sukkah- he had engineered a way to build a sukkah for just $36!!! Sukkos and Chanukah were his two favorite holidays and he would spend most of the year helping build things for them.
    To #7: Thank you so much.

    One last thing I wanted to share about my father. When we found him last Sunday after his stroke, the stretcher couldn’t get all the way down the hallway so they had to carry him part of the way. His right side was already paralyzed but his left hand was gripping his yarmulka. His yarmulka fell off and his hand kept searching around anxiously to find where it had gone. I put it back on his head and said, “Abba, don’t worry, you’re yarmulka is back on.” And he relaxed. Once he got to the ambulance he was no longer conscious. For anybody who knows my father, this probably doesn’t surprise you that his last conscious action was making sure to reinforce his connection with his creator.

    I wasn’t privileged of making R’ Moshe’s acquaintance, just looking at his face on the obit shows an eidel fine and caring person. Chochmas adam tair panav. Looks loke the kind of guy that would automatically check to be certain his Yarmulkeh was on properly.

    Nehama– that story the epitome of yiddishkeit. how beautiful that your fathers last moments on this earth were to be comforted by his observance and his daughter. that is amazing, and a level of observance we should all aspire to. may haShem comfort you and your family in your time of mourning with the beautiful memories of your father in this world.
